MediaWiki offers features to make this a lot easier. The categories
feature in particular is great: go to the page:
Category:Blah
and you'll see a listing of all pages containing a link to
[[Category:Blah]]. The existing list of all categories can be found via
the "special pages" link in the sidebar:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Special:Categories
A "favourite" or "highlight" category would be one way to do what you're
talking about.
